When you are getting older, your memory becomes worse, so you need to write down some notes from time to time, hence this place was born.

Getting Started with jBPM 4.0 - (Part I )

jBPM 4.0 was out yesterday, so I played it with a simple example, also include installing the eclipse plugin, and see the jbpm console, which I haven't tried them out before, to get a feeling about them. Below are the steps that I did, hopefully you find it helpful for you to get started.

Install jBPM and JBoss

1. Download the jbpm 4.0 distribution.2. Extract it into your local directory, here mine is: /local/deploy3. Go to jbpm-4.0/jboss.4. Added the build.properties into ${user.home}/.jbpm4 directory if you want to update the default properties in the ant script. (below is what I did, I used the jboss-5.0.1.GA, and I already had the zip ball in the /local/softwares directory)
